00:44 - ApothecaryI never saw the appeal of Pallbearer. Ok music, but not worth the enormous praise they've been getting by some. Didn't ever impress me much on album and when I saw them live with Deafheaven I wasn't really won over either

Death is all around me, violence and decay
Screams of the dying, never leave my mind
Hanging helpless in barbed wire, another helpless victim
Cut to shreds in the rain of fire, bleeding, burning, suffering
Where blood and iron flow, the iron crosses grow
Piles of dismembered corpses, slaughtered and twisted
Unseeing eyes, staring into nothingness

02. Forged With Hate

Stranger to empathy, numb to remorse, when
I've taken your head I'm the winner of wars
So intense and demanding the vengeance inside,
My will for power will never subside
Outgrowing sane control, I'm as close as your heartbeat
When only fear is audible screaming your name,
Dread the last sense that remains in this game
Stab my way through religious beliefs, life is such a slow disease
Faced down and thrashed to oblivion
Forged with hate
Concealed murder a tool of the trade, fate is sealed and deals are made
Fear established in society, smoke and shadow I chose to be
Embrace the moment of death
Reflect the invittions in my victims eyes, cut off their faces and all the lies
Behind the masks that haunt me all is hollow, Still I search beneath the raptures of the shallow
Now it all comes clear
After this there'll be nothing to fear

03. Me-God

As an echo from the past, recognition with a blast, an unbearable hate so vast,
I will ignite the world at last
Turned the key to sick, darkened mental shack, drained to fear, can't go back
Racing on down the bitter track, I have become a savior in black
Only the living are lost, persisting at any cost
Universal loss will be gain, suffering in the giving, bringer of pain
Presence of lunacy clouding the sky, passion for bloodshed comes to life
Armed with intentions to kill, ancient animosity grows with a thrill
Shed my skin as I'm closing in, cleansing the world from filth and sin
The death of millions my tribute to the end, no matter what I will never repent
Assassin for the masses on a power trip,
Madness from inside never losing it's grip
All my life they've been leading my way,
Mow the voices are drowned by mental decay
Time has come to unmask the dead, one by one of fire flame draped with dread
Screams of sirens are cutting through the air,
Calling my name I'm god don't you hear

04. Tragedy Of The Faithful

All these years I've stayed faithful
Through bitterness I've bled
Sacrifice, betrayal and deceit, has rid me of the weak
Tragedy of the faithful, dying for a lost cause
Tragedy of the faithful, loyalty unto death
At the mercy of the vengeful
Mislead and betrayed
Through darkness and misery
I've walked the bloodstained path
Tragedy of the faithful
So many has fallen
Tragedy of the faithful
Loyalty unto death

05. Chasing The Serpent

The day of insanityextending like a dream, the outcast of any tribe is king
Generations drowned in self-indulgence and deceit,
Mass suicide the liberating end
New gods will be born and killed to live again,
Religion as it's finest being breached
Monstrous conclusion breaks the surface all to late, Heaven as the know it out of reach
God-fearing, despairing, each prayer a human grave
Armed and content with the battlefield laid out, delivering the bitter blow
When darkness is tyrant, never see the light, pay tribute to the overlord
As the body count is done and surviving priests dispatched,
A martyr's nightmare begins
Atheism made out of divine neglect, on the side of angels unveiling the fiend
Fluid system of hatred made flesh, take the consequence of revelations
Godless god knows when, fail to evolve while chasing the serpent
Shallow and ashen the foundation of souls
Hollow existence, victimized and scorned

06. Where Angels Fear To Tread

War birds fly in tight formation, across the blackened sky
A thousand engines roar, tremors of the approaching storm
One man's insanity, revenge and retribution
Steel birds fat and laden with death, their bellies open wide
Commence to unleash a fiery death, upon the defenseless target
A thousand souls screaming in pain as incendiary bombs detonate
The smell, phosphor and petrol mix with the stench of burning flesh
Firestorms rage across the city, even the air seems to be aflame
The howl of air-raid sirens drowns the screams of pain
Non-combatants pay a bloody toll, whole city blocks disappear
Damnation and a raging inferno, destruction is complete.

07. Sword Of Light

O! I am the light and the savior, I am the one who brings death to mankind
The bringer of silence, the source of life, hammer of justice, sword of light
Conflict will end uneasy peace, humanity's finest destructive art
Winds of war tear the world apart
Nations will crumble and new will arise, rising from the ashes "the one" emerge
Written in blood history repeats itself, again and again in a ravenous purge
There is no peace has ever been, man killing man
Strong defeat the weak, we're always at war
Sword of light, burning bright, hand of doom, death to you all
Sword of light, might makes right, dawn of damnation, awaits us all
Shattered existence, survivors struggle to rebuild
Dance of death, burning world drowned in flames

08. As The Coins Upon Your Eyes

The sands of time are slipping through your fingers
Life's bitter journey, towards the end
Your time has come
Pass the threshold and beyond
With a conscience cold as the coins upon your eyes
Wear the flesh of fallen angels
Leave your earthly form behind
Across the seas of blood, to shores of the damned, nothingness surrounds now
Burning in this void, cleansed and remolded, stripped of a sinful past
A life of misery and pain, has come to it's end
All is black, all light has faded, howling demons tear your mind to shreds
Cast aside the flesh that binds you, what you want you shall become after death

09. Children Of The Cross

A thousand deaths I've seen, my mind is scarred beyond repair
Don't really care if I survive this life of mental despair
Lies, lies, see the madness in their eyes
Children of the cross, lost on the path of the dead
Undead my savior, from tomb to womb I folow thee
Stigmatized, crucified, I bleed my ife unto you
Seeking the source, of the dark I've become
Hatred and soul is now one
Killing the source of the light I despise
Hatred and life is now one

10. As I Pull The Trigger

What are these visions that trouble my weakened mind
Haunt my fevered dreams and dance before my wide awake eyes
Visions of death a murder, ravaged figures in pain
People dead and buried, filling my head with fear
Demons and shadows tear my world apart, shredding my sanity to pieces
Screaming in horror, crying in fear, my living nightmare never ends
Now I've realized it will never end
I'll do whatever it takes to send them out of my head
Goodbye to the world
Cannot find final words
The dark shadows disappear
As I pull the trigger
